and they sang In a way 10 confirm this ASSERTION
II was their Christmas-tree night. They all assem-
bed In the hall at the asylum at O'Clock, and
sang merry Christmas songs In chorus, semi
chorus and "petite" chorus. Many OF their grown
up friends were there 10 enjoy with them their
entertainment. Mr.. E b. Hay recited some anus
ing things for them, and talked to them In a
rambling happy way. There were some amusing
songs sung for the children, and Rev. Dr..
Stakely, the new rector OF the First Baptist
church, talked TO them for a while. linen
the distribution OF the presents began
and every child got something TO make
him or her happy. II was as merry a Christmas
gathering as could be gotten up among any set OF
children While the names were being read from
each little present two or three times In response
To name, some little voice would Call out, ''Shes
sick" and the book or doll or toy would be set
aside TO be taken up into the sick room The little
girls who got dolls lighted all up with Joy and the
boys with tin horns were particularly proud.

ANOTHER ELoPEMENT.
Forgiveness Follows And All Is
Well.

MissLizzie Brown, the pretty and ac-
complished daughter of Councilman
Omar S. Brown, went to Eddyville
some days ago to visit friends and on
last Friday, the Oath ult. her father
received a telegram informing him
that she had been married that day
to DR.. w. 4. Nisbet, of this county,
in Cairo, Ill. 1t seems that the hand
some young doctor, who has been in
partnership with Dr. Lackey in the
practice of his profession for some
time, fearing that Mr.. Brown would
not give up his only daughter and
child, went to Eddyville and the elope-
ment was planned and carried out.
The Young couple came back as far
as st. Charles, where an aunt of the
bride lives, and as soon as he learned
of the marriage, Mr.. Brown wrote
them to come home. They arrived
the next day and are now at Mr..
Browns home on North Main street.
All has been forgiven and Mr.. Brown
has made up his mind 10 be pleased
with his son-in-law. lie really had
no objections to the match further
than his unwillingness to have his
daughter marry any man. The
young folks evidently knew his views
on the subject and concluded to act
without running the risks of a re-
fusal.
Miss Brown graduated from South
Kentucky College last June with the
donors of her class. She Is young
lady of beauty, intelligence and
strength of mind and possesses at the
same time rare culture and a grace of
manner that makes her q favorite
with all who know her.
DIR. Nisbet is young physician
about 81 years of age. He
will spend one more session
at the Medical College in Louisville
and graduate next spring. He will
leave for Louisville in few day.

MURDER AT LoNGvIEw.
Geo. Taylor Killed by Ike Parrish,
A Negro.

Another bloody homicide which
from the news so far received, seems
to have been foul murder, occurred
at the farm of Horace Buckner, near
Longview, yesterday morning al
about s o'clock. The victim was a
white man named George Taylor and
the murderer negro named Ike
Parrish. The weapon used was a
tobacco knife which was plunged in
to Taylor's left breast just below the
heart, inflicting wound from which
he died in few moments, expiring
in the tobacco field where the TRACE
dy took place.
Taylor with a number of colored
hands was cutting and hanging
tobacco in Mr.. Buckner's field and at
the time the killing took place Taylor
and Parrish were some distance from
the other hands engaged in hanging
TOBACCO. None OF the other hanus IN
the field seem to know much about
how II occurred. The wound as
stated above, speedily proved fatal
and Parrish departed al once and was
still at large yesterday afternoon,
Taylor's brothcr,who lives at Upshaw
Buckner's started in pursuit of Par
IRISH and If he is caught there is dan
ger of mob violence. Great excite
ment prevails in the neighborhood.
1t is to be hoped that the good name
of the county will not be disgraced
by lynching, but that Parrish, If
captured, will be lodged in Jail and
given fair trial under the law. Tay-
lor was young man an unmarried.

A Market House.

To THE BOARD OF COUNCIL:
You have been elected as the
guardians of the peoples interest
You represent the majority and moi
the minority alone. You ought to
obey the will Of your constituents
and pass all such ordinances aud de-
wise all such public measures as shall
best conserve and advance the inter-
ests of the city generally and all it's
people write and black. The large
majority of the people of the city are
house keepers and buyers and con-
sumers OF Country produce, yegeta-
bles, fruits, poultry, eggs, butter,
meats, hay and corn. A small mi
nority are engaged in the business Of
retailing these articles and make a
profit therein of from 10 to so per
cent.
Now with market house, such as
every other city OF the size of ours,
has always had, the trader in these
necessary articles would lose his
large per cent. aud might complain
some, but we the large majority, the
consumers, would make by It.
Every house keeper in the city
large or small will save his city tax
es every year with a market house.
The D. V. tax has carried, let 1t be
so. Now why can we not save that
tax to each citizen in buying the
meet ssaries of life?
1t is perfectly wonderful how we
have gone on from year to year under
this burden. Your predecessors were
solemnly instructed at the polls some
years ago to build a market house
and the order was over ruled by the
Board, disobeying the will of their
constituents. How long shall this
voice be stifled2 Now if we get a
peck of peaches or dozen eggs at
first cost, we must go out and stand
on 7lh street bridge or at the fair
ground to intercept the wagon before
it gets to the city and is gobbled up
(the whole load) by the Hucksters.
This ought to be stopped, and it is
high time we as a city were in line
with Bowling Green, Paducah,
Greensboro and all other cities, that
save their annual taxes, by having a
chance to buy from first hands.
Now gentlemen will you consider
this matter? If you do not soon take
up you will again hear from
TAX PAYER.
